Cocktails on The Pearson Room’s new seasonal drinks menu – here we focus on a selection of six
Just Chill is a scarlet, spicy drink that will turn heads on arrival
how The Pearson Room is embracing a seasonal change with its latest cocktail list
by Jon Massey
Right now there are two things to tell you about The Pearson Room. The first is that it’s just launched its new cocktail list, with the bar team working hard to come up with 14 drinks to tickle the tastebuds of thirsty
Wharfers.
“I would describe it as focused on smoky, spicy and sweet flavours as those are right for this time of year,” said Theo Damse.
“We try to make it so we have as little waste as possible behind the bar and we make use of as much of each ingredient as we can.”
That means the venue, which is located above Waitrose overlooking
Canada Square, is all set for winter, with a special Christmas drink – Santa’s Little Helper – also in the pipeline for the festive season.
General manager at The Pearson Room, Emilie Parker-Burrell said: “We like our menu to be original, creative and something you won’t find anywhere else.
“The team have been amazing, coming up with all these drinks since we first talked about changing the menu in June.”
Also on Wharfers’ radars should be the venue’s loyalty scheme, which applies to PAs, EAs and anyone working at a company who has responsibility for making corporate bookings.
“We’re calling it The Pearson Collective,” said Emilie. “The way it works is that those on the scheme get points based on the number and size of booking that they make with us. Because we are owned by Third Space,
expertly
Just Chill - £11
Ocho Tequila, watermelon liqueur, grenadine, watermelon syrup and chilli This is the partygoer who makes an entrance in a stunning shade before hitting the dance floor to spice things up. Carefully balanced
Santa’s Little Helper - £14.50
Bruichladdich Port Charlotte, Mount Gay Rum, Cherry Heering (served hot) Available from November, this brilliant, potent drink should be a Wharf rite of passage. Heady, smoky and warming for winter
Assistant bar manager at The Pearson Room, Theo Damse
those points can be used as credit at the club, Natural Fitness Food and Third Space Spa.
“You’d get one point for a booking for four people, which works out at £5. The Pearson Room is very flexible – it can handle small dinners right up to receptions for 350 people. If you booked exclusive hire of the whole venue, that would be 40 points, so £200 in credit. We want to reward those who are loyal to us – it makes sense if we give something back.” Go to thepearsonroom.co.uk or email events@thepearsonroom.co.uk for more information about The Pearson Collective
